Presidents Message
Ken Goldman
I would like to thank our outgoing president Linda Doll for her
extraordinary service over the last three years and for agreeing to stay on
as both consultant to me and director of our upcoming China Exchange
program. Linda has been a one-woman dynamo in catapulting NWS into the digital age and
will be indispensable in helping us maintain our cutting-edge reputation, and extra kudos go
to prior past president Mike Bailey for breaking the ground that moved us forward.
Most presidents know they can only be as effective as the officers who surround them and this
is where I am most fortunate; nearly all of the board members who assisted Linda have agreed
to stay on. All the members of this board will make an impact with their own new fresh ideas.
In my last real job as an exhibit designer and muralist for the San Diego Museum of Natural
History, I learned how to work with a large team of highly capable artists. I intend to use this
experience by encouraging all board members/artists to fully unleash their talents. I promise
to make final decisions only after much listening and consultation and will primarily be a
facilitator, delegator and background leader.
This new year promises to be an exciting one. In honor of NWSs 95th anniversary, we begin
our course of international exchanges by first hosting artists from the Belgium Biennale, then
a cultural/artistic exchange with China and of course we will have our own highly acclaimed
annual members and international exhibitions along with new workshops and lectures.
Bottom line, this is a great time to come aboard NWS or to continue your membership with
us. In our mission to encourage your ongoing pursuit of learning about and creating the finest
most innovative modern watercolors possible, we affirmatively state that watercolor is finally
achieving the status it deserves.
I look forward to meeting or hearing from all of you.

China Small Image Exchange Exhibit


By linda Doll, past President, Chair of China Exhibition

hou Tianya, CAA, NWS, has invited the National Watercolor Society
(NWS) to collaborate in hosting a small image exchange exhibition.
The small image exhibit will be held in conjunction with the 2015 Shenzhen
International Biennial Exhibition, exhibited in the Shenzhen Art Museum
from December 5, 2015, to January 10, 2016, and curated by Zhou Tianya.
In 2016, following the exhibition in Shenzhen, the small paintings from both
countries will travel to San Pedro, CA, where they will be shown in the NWS
Gallery from July 30, 2016, to August 28, 2016.
Separate opening receptions are proposed for both the Shenzhen International
Biennial and the small image exhibitions, possibly on the same day.
The small images submitted by NWS artists will be juried by Zhou Tianya, and
Linda Doll will serve as juror for the Chinese artists paintings.
Zhou Tianya is a well-known artist, teacher, author, and editor, who also has
served -- for the past seven (7) years -- as Chair of the Art Department at Jingshu
Academy of Technology in Hubei, China. Linda Doll, Immediate Past President,
and Director of NWS, is an internationally-known artist, teacher, juror, and
workshop instructor.
Small works for this joint collaboration will consist of paintings no larger than
15 in the longest dimension. They will be sent unframed to NWS and will then
be shipped to China by NWS. Catalogs of the small image exhibition will be
printed through the generosity of China, and each accepted artist will receive this
wonderful catalog.
Entry for this show will be for NWS Members only and will be submitted online
from April 20 to May 27, 2015. For more information, check the web page www.

95 Years and Counting, Historical Perspective


By penny Hill, director of annual exhibition

t was 95 years ago that Dana Bartlett put together a new organization devoted to
the art of Watercolor. The wild west coast was host to the founding of the California

Watercolor Society and this is how it all unfolded. In 1931, Phil Dikes Sicilian Houses
won first place award. He donated it to the society effectively beginning the permanent
collection. In 1975, the California National Watercolor Society decided to drop the
California in its name and become simply the National Watercolor Society to reflect its
expanded national membership. From its inception NWS has always been at the leading
edge of new innovations in water media paintings. There is a pride in acknowledging
the new and inspiring work put forth around the world.
Is NWS outstanding in the genre? Is it wise in its pursuit of strict code of ethics in its
jurying process? Are the goals of being accepted into the International and Member
exhibitions of the highest standards? Is the process for jurying for signature a worthy
endeavor? And the answer to all of the questions is YES ! Is it a thrill to be a part of
our exhibitions and join in the acknowledgments of your peers and the exposure of
your work on the international stage? YES ! So when the questions are asked, why does
Dana Bartlett The founder of what is now known as
the National Watercolor Society.
Image courtesy of the California Art Club.
He was their 7th President 1922- 1923

NWS decline to exhibit work previously shown or painted more than two years ago?
The answer is integrity and absolute honesty in the selection of entries and judging of
awards. To this end, signature board members are not allowed to compete in the contest
nor are jurors allowed to speak together during the process. For the annual member
exhibition, the juror cannot be a member of NWS .
In 1925, president Henri de Kruif restated the mission of NWS: The need of art to

all ages has always been an imperative one. And whether consciously or unconsciously, this vital need has brought forth workers who
gradually developed an art expressive of the spirit of their age. Not by sudden bounds has such expression been realized, but by the
seasoning growth of time. Thus to those who still look to the past for art, let this be revealed, that we are on the threshold of something
very fine and true to America. It is to encourage freedom of beauty in watercolor painting and to foster individual expression among
the artists that the California Water Color Society strives to be liberal to all comers.
Our 2015 Membership Exhibition will be opening on June 6th, 2015, with reception and awards and will continue through July 31st.
It is an amazing gathering of our membership to bring forth their new works. Join us and invite all your fans and especially those who
have never seen the revealing work being done in water media today.

Member Exhibition Juror


Carol Carter is a longtime
resident of St. Louis, where
she earned a Master of Fine
Arts degree from Washington
University. Long admired in
St. Louis, she earned national
recognition in 2002 when
her work was featured on
the cover of New American
Paintings magazine. She
stepped onto the international arts stage that same year
with a solo exhibition in Guayaquil, Ecuador, sponsored
by the U.S. Embassy. She has had solo exhibitions in
Norway, France, and USVI. She was AIRE Fellow at
Everglades National Park in 2010. Crate & Barrel and
Verizon Wireless recently added her to their collections.

Carter will demonstrate


her technique of wet, loose
watercolor. Each day begins
with a uniquely tailored
lesson to inspire. She will
discuss color, water, design,
and value. The afternoon
will be devoted to individual
instruction and group
critique.
Water is an enduring presence in Carol Carters watercolor and acrylic
paintings. Having grown up in Florida, she sees water as an evocative
backdrop, resonant in contrasts that illuminate the human condition.
Using vibrant, saturated colors, she plays upon the dualities present in
nature in images of swimmers, lush landscapes, insightful portraits and
botanical studies.

In Memoriam

In Memoriam

Lu Campbell, nws, 82, Past


Treasurer of NWS, former
Festival of Arts artist and
Laguna Beach resident Lu
Campbell passed away on
Monday, January 26, 2015
at home with her loving
husband, John, and her
daughter Darcy by her side.
Lu had been fighting a long
and tough battle with lung
cancer since 2007.

Gerrie Brown, nws passed


away on January 6th of this
year. She received a BA
degree from Asbury College in
1960, majoring in Secondary
Art Education.She studied
with nationally recognized
instructors at Springmaid
Beach Watercolor Workshops
in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, and others.

Lu was born in Whittier, California on February 19,


1932, to Harold and Marion Weaver. Her given
name was Zella Ivalu Weaver, after her two aunts.
Her family moved to Scotia, California, where she
attended Fortuna High School. This is when Lu
changed her name to just, Lu. Lu loved the arts and
decorating.
She graduated from San Jose State University in
1956, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in
Interior Design. Lu moved to Laguna Beach in 1960
with her late ex-husband Tom Murphine, The Daily
Pilot newspaper editor, and their three children,
Tommy, Matt, and Darcy.
She studied ceramics
under Romona Gilbrait and
continued training under the
direction of William O. Payne,
Wallace Parker, and Howard
Warner at Orange Coast. Her
ceramic work was displayed
at Orange Coast College and
galleries in Laguna Beach.
From 1963 to 1978, Lu
showcased her pottery at
the Festival of Arts. During
a remodel of their home in
1985, Lu made the difficult
decision to give away all her ceramic supplies,
including her kiln. She soon missed creating art
and decided to try her hand at watercolors. She
had a natural talent for painting, in fact, an awardwinning talent. In 1990, her works were accepted
for the prestigious exhibits of Watercolor West
and the National Watercolor Society, of which she
was a signature member. From 1999 to 2003,
she served as board member and treasurer of the
National Watercolor Society. Her art was featured
in Watercolor magazine multiple times and she won
numerous prestigious awards for her paintings.

Gerrie exhibited locally with


the Shenandoah Valley Watercolor Society, of which
she was the founding president. She also exhibited
with the Signature 9 Gallery in Roanoke, Virginia.
She was a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and an artist member of the Virginia
Watercolor Society. Her work has been published in
Best of Watercolor II and Best of Watercolor, Painting
Texture, Rockport Publishers, 1997.
